"The Book of Rainy Days" is a look at the melancholy days of rain spent waiting for it to stop raining, the running theme of "Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day!" and the song sung by B. J. Thomas, "Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head" replayed in my mind. Created with hand-torn rag papers mixed with the original sketchbook pages and India ink washes, the papers were layered together and were splattered and flooded with washes. I've added a notations regarding rain and rainy days, after I put it together, I let it ride around in my purse for several weeks to batter it a bit to make certain that it will hold its own once it leaves my hands. I love how it has gained the appearance of an ancient artifact. This sketchbook is a smaller sibling to my larger work also titled "The Book of Rainy Days" both executed at the same time period with the same manner of handling the paper and ink.
